Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore is a small island city-state located in Southeast Asia with a diverse population of people from different ethnic backgrounds such as Chinese, Malay, and Indian. It is widely known for its high standards of living, impeccable cleanliness, and booming economies. Singapore has also been ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world by various surveys over the years. It is a highly developed country with a highly educated workforce, advanced infrastructure, and excellent health care systems. The country's economy is heavily dependent on exports, mainly electronics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Singapore is also a popular tourist destination showcasing their vibrant culture, cuisine, and iconic landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by The Bay, and Sentosa Island. However, Singapore's journey towards growth has not been without challenges. The country’s strategic location led to it being a colony of several different countries over the years, Chinese dialects and Malay are the official languages, but English is commonly used as a medium of communication due to its role in international trade. The country's size has also been a significant challenge, leading to government initiatives such as reclaiming land from the sea to make more land available for development. Despite these challenges, Singapore has overcome many odds to become one of the most successful and progressive countries in the world. It is an example to many other countries on how to prioritize education, infrastructure, and innovation to drive national growth and development.

Book excerpt: A compelling, illuminating and evocative history of Singapore—the world's most successful city-state. In 1965, Singapore's GDP per capita was on a par with Jordan. Now it has outstripped Japan. After the Second World War and a sudden rupture with newly formed Malaysia, Singapore found itself independent - and facing a crisis. It took the bloody-minded determination and vision of Lee Kuan Yew, its founding premier, to take a small island of diverse ethnic groups with a fragile economy and hostile neighbours and meld it into Asia's first globalised city. Lion City examines the different faces of Singaporean life - from education and health to art, politics and demographic challenges - and reveals how in just half a century, Lee forged a country with a buoyant economy and distinctive identity. It explores the darker side of how this was achieved too; through authoritarian control that led to it being dubbed 'Disneyland with the death penalty'. Jeevan Vasagar, former Singapore correspondent for the Financial Times, masterfully takes us through the intricate history, present and future of this unique diamond-shaped island one degree north of the equator, where new and old have remained connected. Lion City is a personal, insightful and definitive guide to the city, and how its extraordinary rise is shaping East Asia and the rest of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today Singapore ranks sixth in the world in healthcare outcomes well ahead of many developed countries, including the United States. The results are all the more significant as Singapore spends less on healthcare than any other high-income country, both as measured by fraction of the Gross Domestic Product spent on health and by costs per person. Singapore achieves these results at less than one-fourth the cost of healthcare in the United States and about half that of Western European countries. Government leaders, presidents and prime ministers, finance ministers and ministers of health, policymakers in congress and parliament, public health officials responsible for healthcare systems planning, finance and operations, as well as those working on healthcare issues in universities and think-tanks should know how this system works to achieve affordable excellence."--Publisher's website.
